John H. MacQuirk Jr.

John had lovingly shared the last 16 years of his life with Alice R. Buskirk, residing in Kunkletown, along with their German shepherd, Macy.

He was born in East Orange, N.J., to John H. MacQuirk Sr. and Martha Bartholomew MacQuirk.

His pride was his four daughters, residing in Texas: Cindy Rogers and her husband, Dan; Jackie Rachunek and her husband, John; Debbie Tarver and her husband, Randy; and Valerie Boyd and her husband, John; and nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He loved Alice's family as his own, including her daughter, Ronda Weaver and her husband, Dave, along with Alice's three grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, David and Barry. His remaining brother, Don, resides in Florida. He has many nieces and nephews residing in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.

John was in real estate construction and sales for most of his life, operating in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Florida and Grand Cayman.

He loved people and few that met him will easily forget him. He was a great storyteller, drawing a fine line at times between fact and fiction, which only served to make his stories more exciting.

John loved the Jersey shore, surf fishing and bay fishing. He was a huge presence in many people's lives. His love, generosity and companionship will be greatly missed.

To honor John's wishes, no public service will be held. Your prayers for John and his loved ones would be greatly appreciated.
